400 Central, also known as Residence 400 Central or Residences at 400 Central, is a 515 feet (157 m) tall residential building under construction in St. Petersburg, Florida. Located at the intersection of Central Avenue and 4th Street, it is the tallest building currently topped-out in St. Petersburg and will be the tallest residential building in the Tampa Bay area upon completion.[1]
Developed by the Red Apple Group, the design features a stadium shaped residential condominium, aligned diagonally to the street grid, towering over a mixed-use office and retail base structure. A previous plan to develop a hotel within the complex was scrapped in 2021.[2] Construction on 400 Central began in October 2022. The building structurally topped-out in September 2024 and is expected to be completed by 2025.

Incidents
Crane collapse during Hurricane Milton
On October 9, 2024, a construction crane of 400 Central collapsed during Hurricane Milton, causing extensive structural damage to several floors of the adjacent 490 First Ave S, more commonly known as the Tampa Bay Times building. No injuries were reported as the area had already been evacuated prior to the storm.[3] The crane collapse also obstructed First Avenue South, a major road leading to downtown St. Petersburg, blocking eastbound traffic for several blocks.
City officials said the cranes were rated to be safe for winds up to 120 mph (190 km/h).[4] The highest wind gust reported in the city during Hurricane Milton was 101 mph (163 km/h) at the Albert Whitted Airport.[5]
